[C#] [G#]
[C#] One night [G#] it was dark [C#] and he was raining, when along came a tramp [G#] in the rain.
[C#] He was making his way [F#] to the station, [G#] to catch a long [C#] distance train.
May I sleep [G#] in your barn [C#] tonight mister, for it's cold lying out [G#] on the ground.
[C#] And the cold north wind [F#] is a-whistling, [G#] and I have no place [C#] to lie down.
Now I have [G#] no bag [C#] or matches, and I'm sure I will do [G#] you no harm.
I [C#] will tell you my story [F#] time mister, for [G#] it runs through my heart like [C#] a thorn.
It [G#]
[C#] was three [G#] years ago [C#] last summer, I shall never forget that [G#] sad day.
When [C#] a stranger came out from [F#] the city, [G#] and said that he wanted [C#] to stay.
Now this stranger [G#] was tall, [C#] dark and handsome, and he looked like a man who [G#] had wealth.
Said [C#] he wanted to stay in [F#] the country, said [G#] he wanted to stay for [C#] his health.
One night as [G#] I came from [C#] my workshop, I was whistling and saying [G#] joy.
I [C#] expected time for [F#] a welcome, my [G#] sweet loving [C#] wife and my boy.
But what should [G#] I find [C#] but a letter, a book placed in my [G#] room on a stand.
[C#] And the moment my eyes [F#] fell upon it, [G#] I picked it right up from [C#] my hand.
Now this note said [G#] my wife and [C#] stranger, they had left and had taken [G#] my son.
Well [C#] I wonder if God [F#] up in heaven, [G#] only knows what that stranger [C#] has done.
